Baseball America's Top 10 Yankees Prospects

Josh Norris of Baseball America and Trenton Thunder beat writer posted on twitter (@jnorris427) Baseball America's top 10 Yankees prospects a little early. Here is the list which will not be officially released for a couple more days.

1. Mason Williams - High A Tampa

2. Slade Heathcott - High A Tampa

3. Gary Sanchez - High A Tampa

4. Tyler Austin - AA Trenton

5. Jose Campos - Low A Charleston

6. Brett Marshall - AA Trenton

7. Angelo Gumbs - Low A Charleston

8. Manny Banuelos - AAA Scranton Wilkes-Barre

9. Ty Hensley - GCL Yankees

10. Rafael DePaula - Dominican Summer League

Austin Romine, Dante Bichette Jr, Ravel Santana, Dellin Betances, and JR Murphy all fell off the list from last year. Slade Heathcott not only jumping as high as 2nd but over Tyler Austin was a bit of a shock and a bit of a stretch in my book but I guess Baseball America would know better then I would. No Mark Montgomery or really any of our closer prospects like Corban Joseph, David Adams, Melky Mesa, etc are also a bit of a head scratcher in my book but oh well, no huge snubs. The official list will be posted this Friday, November 9th so look out for that.
